When We Use Kubernetes
We recommend Kubernetes specifically when ECS is insufficient: multi-cloud or on-premise requirements, GPU workload scheduling, building an internal developer platform, or when the team already has deep Kubernetes expertise. For most SaaS products under 20 engineers, ECS Fargate remains the right choice.
Our Kubernetes Stack
- EKS on AWS and GKE on Google Cloud for managed control planes
- Helm charts for reproducible, versioned application packaging
- ArgoCD for GitOps-based continuous deployment with audit trails
- KEDA for event-driven autoscaling beyond CPU and memory metrics
- cert-manager and ExternalDNS for automated certificate and DNS management
